Is There A Stated Guidelines On How Long A Separation Pay Should Be Release?

Hello everyone!
I would just like to ask if there is such a law/ procedure/ guideline that states the maximum processing time for releasing a resigned employee's separation pay?
It's been four months since I resigned from my previous work but I still haven't receive my separation pay. According to my previous employer, the separation pay is still on process. They are just waiting for a file that would note some deductions. Given that, shouldn't they have done something about it? Is that legal?
Would really appreciate your reply.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Jillian

Hi Jillian,
In case employee resigned himself then full n final to be given in next pay day i.e x resigned on rf aug and pay day is 1st of every month then FNF day will be 1st sep.
In case company terminate any employee then next day.
